Can you Replace the Fury X fan?

[Nater]

I just ordered a Fury with a hand full of Af120's will I be able to use one on the rad?

[ICantThinkOfAnyGoodName]

Yes, but the included fan is already very good and Af120's are airflow optimized and not static pressure optimized.

Yes you can, but AF120 will be noticeably worse then the Fury X's Gentle Typhoon.

Technically yes but the one included is already great. No need to replace it really.

Gentle Typhoons are teh ones that come on it. They are regarded as the best radiator by many, and really don't need to be replaced unless you find them too loud. In that case, then there are only a few fans out there that perform as well at that noise level.

How much performance are we talking? This is more of a cosmetic change, not for performance, I do not overclock.

Quite a bit temperature wise. The fan included is optimized for static pressure, good for using on radiators, where as the AF120's are for air flow, and not meant to push air through a radiator. If you want a Corsair fan on the Fury X's rad, get a SP120 to replace the Gentle Typhoon.

What if I did push/pull and had the af pulling?

It will prob lower temps by a little bit, but with the drawback of some added noise.

put it this way, change fans -> buy closed-cup headphones

dont change fan -> no need ot buy expensive closed-cup headphones

 

also, the fan on the fury X uses a special tiny tiny connector which isnt compatible with the connector on normal case fans. so you must cut and splice wires, which will 100% sure void your warranty
